Ok, here I'm going to go through some concept pics of crossover armors with other universes. For example, what if starfleet somehow made contact with the Star Wars Galaxy, and Starfleet used the Mandalorian Armor, and/or the Klingons did? Or perhaps Batman was somehow transported to the Star Wars universe, and took on the mandalorian armor, even after returning home? Or maybe the Mandalorian culture made an impact with the gundam universe and Mandalorian armor themed Gundams started showing up? Well, I'm going to answer these and other such questions. Ain't sci-fi grand?

Ok, first up I have version 1.0 to the Mando/Batman crossover, specificly the Batman Beyond version, and is currently my only drawing so far that I have out of my brain. I used the top portion of Wizardofflight's tempalte picture that you has posted in his armor template pages so it's just the armor right now. In fact it's just the black armor, black suit, and the Batman Beyond symbol on the right chest piece. It took a while to clean up the haze around the lines in the picture in MS paint, but I got it done in about 3 hours. The symbol I made in Rhino 3D as lines and rendered that out nice and clean, then shrank it to fit the armor. Version 2.0 will be modified armor to accomadate the larg chest symbol as it's supposed to be in the center, but for now I'll just stay with this and expand.Upper Batman Beyond Armor Concept
For the forth coming helmet, I'm planning on Black with a littl bit of red trim. The rangefinder will be gone, and the ears will be symetrical, with bat ears of course. However, I'm contemplated have the right ear stock being some sort of swing-down rangefinder, there the tip swings over infront of the eye when lowered. I'm actually planning on making this batman armor someday, so watch out for the Mandalorian Batman at the conventions!

And if anyone has there own crossover mando concepts, by all means show it!

In tribute to the soldiers who are fighting very hard all around the world who protect our freedom (not just the US), I'm going to make these as well. If you want a branch of the military done, I'll put it down in the list (US and any other country). I do plan on making each and every one of these suits that's listed below. It may take a while, but this is my way of showing my support for the troops.

Hmm, I just might have to draw up some Mando X-Men. T-shaped optic blasts from Cyclops, Gambit's gauntlets hold decks of cards, and Wolverine...has...claws. But his skeleton is not adamantium, it's BESKAR!

Ok, after going through several hours on through this long night, I have a modified helmet of the 3D model I made for my other armor. I basicly just added ears on the side and the pointy ears, then gave it some color. It's a, incomplete model, but It looks better now that it's on the the body with the armor. It's also not completely accurate yet, but I'm working on it whenver I get time from my other project, family, and homework.

Now all I need is the armor, an under suit, a few nik-nacs here and there and it's a Mando-fide Batman! I want to put something one of the shoulder bells to balance it out a bit, but I'm not sure what. I don't want to repeat the bat symbol, so what else do you think I could use?

Also, as a note, the red on the visor isn't relly that bright. It's just how the lights in 3DS rendered it, and I'm to tired right to fix it

Here's a shot of the back of the helmet to show the color. It's alot of black, but since it's supposed to be the "DARK" k"NIGHT" I made it really black with no gloss. I'll revise this, but again, it's 5:48 and I been up all night working on this http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...bathelmet1.png

Not a clue, but this bat don't have a cape. Those are wings that fold up. I am planning on doing a batman mando based on the prequel series to Batman Beyond, but I'm going to rework the armor a bit to fit the centered bat symbol. I'll probably go with a short cape that goes one both shoulders. But as usual with batman, besides those instances where he needs it, not jet pack with the prequal suit, but I'm going to figure something out for the Beyond Suit.

Here's the redesign for the Beyond chest armor. For the stomach portion, I'm thinking of using layered plates, similar to the Cade Skywalker armor, and having the middle of it having the same shape as the bottom of the chest armor, and curving into the middle, to simulate the six pack abs.

Please forgive the white outline. Those are just what showed up when I rendered it out in Rhino then colored it in Paint I fix it later when it isn't almost 2 in the morning

note: Can you find the special shape I put in the armor? And I don't mean the big red bat

All these ideas sound awesome.I really like the iron man crossover idea.I have a cool iron man helmet that would fit the look perfectly.
After I have finished with the 2 sets I am doing, I am going to tackle 2 ideas.A spawn fett with a gothic feel(ragged armor with good size spikes,topped off with a really cool ragged red cape, and a punisher fett(this one makes the most sense).So be on the lookout for this thread to start up.
I figure I will just use the jango 2 peice buckets for these outfits.
I am looking forward to seeing this batman look toragh.So far I am quite impressed.Everyone here does such incredible work.

I actualy had a police mando in mind for the past few months....but have moved on to use that armor for something else.....I usualy get excited about a costume for two weeks, forget about it, remember it, get excited again, and then just decide to pitch the idea.....Proboly how like right now Im into BSG, in 2 months ask me again, and I'll proboly have abandoned the project.

eh, it depends where ya go with it, a Mando/Klingon armor would be interesting since i think the races have a bit in common both being very warrior based, but i've always thought Star Wars came off far less Hokey, especially in costume regards then Star Trek so that taints the idea for me...

I like how the stomach plate is going, but I'm going to keep working it for detail mostly.
The collar armor looks great, but it needs alot more work.
The vest is actually 2 layers, or will be once it's made in reality. First is the under vest made of some thin-but-rugged material, and then the second layer that's made of some thick-but-not-to-thick stuff.
Now you have the girth belt that I've kinda hoisted up so it would help my bad back on the long walks and standing around at Cons. It's a wide strip of leather and 3 belts that'll be looped through like pant belt loops.
As you can see in the second picture, the armor is curved to the rest of the body. Curving the armor is part of my problem with getting the collar armor to work right, but I'm working on it.

All in all, this is turning out better than I ad hoped. It's a bit more modern/futuristic tech than I thought it would be, but in my opinion I think it works very well. Next is to work on the back, shoulders, and waist. For the back, I'm going to make something that'll look like wings folded up there in a compartment of somesort, bit it'll be just for show, plus something else to help support my bad back during long hours at Cons..
